I've been trying to add mods to my minecraft using the old way of putting them in the bin folder. However, I do not have a bin folder in my .minecraft folder. How do I get the bin folder or find a different way to add the mods. I have already tried using the magic launcher and it did not work. I also so tried Ctrl-h to show the hidden items and the bin folder still did not show up. All help is appreciated! Thank you!

  • Did you try creating the directory yourself? – ever99 May 15 '14 at 00:19

  • mkdir path/to/.minecraft/bin – ever99 May 15 '14 at 01:56
  • I get this message when I type that: cannot create directory ‘path/to/.minecraft/bin’: No such file or directory – Bela May 15 '14 at 02:23
  • "/path/to/.minecraft/bin" should be replaced with the path to the .minecraft folder on your computer. It's probably /home/[username]/.minecraft/bin . So for example, since my username is 'timothy' I would type "mkdir /home/timothy/.minecraft/bin" – ever99 May 15 '14 at 05:47

I'm not ubuntu native, but I did this on FEDORA 20, should work for all linux:

  1. Download MINECRAFT FORGE UNIVERSAL INSTALLER (.jar) for the version you want (1.7.2 etc.) and run it using java.
  2. There should now be a mods folder in your .minecraft directory. If it isn't there, just make a new folder and call it mods
  3. Put your mods in that folder and run minecraft. There should now be a new profile called forge. Press play and you're done!
